WHAT IS AUTOMATION? MARKETING
Marketing Automation helps you: •generate more sales leads, •make more sales and •earn more money.
3 • Marketing Automation systems are web-based applications. • They help you generate more sales leads. • They help you generate better quality leads. • They automate the follow-up with those leads to convert more of them to “sales ready” leads. • They coordinate web marketing activities like email marketing, online ads and online registrations. • They help you analyze which marketing inputs produce the best outputs – sales leads and sales.
Why Do You Need Marketing Automation?
The Problem • Lead Generation tends to be inconsistent – not standardized or automated. • Can identify contacts but these don’t convert to opportunities • Process frequently ignores buyer behaviour – buyers now do a lot /most of their research online Ad hoc lead 11 generation - not repeatable 2 2 Ad hoc lead management - inconsistent 3 3 Too many manual steps – not scalable
6 The problem ThTeh Pero Pblreomblem Typical problems with Lead Generation today • Online lead generation is not systematically managed. • Marketing teams generate a limited number of leads from one or two sources such as tradeshows. • Marketing teams pass every contact they generate to Sales without sorting out the good from the bad. • Sales teams believe the leads they get from their Marketing units are low quality and so do not follow them up effectively. • Some leads are not followed up within a reasonable time frame, or at all. • Marketing can’t see what happens to the leads they pass to Sales. • Marketing can’t compare the quality of leads generated from two different sources because they can’t track their progress in sales. • Marketing teams are not sure which activities generate ‘good’ sales leads. • Marketing aren’t sure which elements of promotional spend produce the best sales results.

What Are The Goals For a Marketing Automation Project?
29 Marketing Automation ThGe oGaolasls Foof Mr Markaertikneg tAiuntgom Aautitoonmation 1. Generate more leads 2. Generate better quality leads (i.e. generate more 'hot' leads and less 'cold' ones). 3. Ensure we respond to all leads (i.e. that none of them go un-contacted). 4. Make sure this response happens faster than at present (e.g. minutes or hours rather than days). 5. Ensure we respond to all leads consistently. 6. Ensure this response is based on information we have about the lead, rather than based on a given sales person's current location, their workload or their access to the CRM system or other circumstantial drivers. 7. Ensure that our longer-term response (lead nurturing) is effective at driving engagement with leads – that our actions increase engagement, not decrease it. 8. Record sufficient information about how we manage leads so that we can analyze our activities and draw accurate conclusions about how to improve our approach.
